    I couldn't have been happier with Denise! She totally understood the look I was going for and made me feel beautiful on my wedding day. She also did all of my bridesmaids and each one of them said it was by far the best makeup they have ever had done for an event. Denise was such a pleasure to work with and will definitely use her again in the near future!

    If you want to look GORGEOUS on your wedding day, look no further. Denise is outstanding! She made me looking like a porcelain doll for 14 hours straight. I looked exactly the same at 11 pm as I did at 9 am, even though I took pictures in the 85 degree weather and danced for hours! She is friendly and so down to earth, exactly who you would want to come to your home the morning of your wedding day! She does awesome airbrushing, which doesn't make you look fake; it's so natural looking! I told her to make my eyes POP and boy did she! I got compliments for days on how great my eyes and eyelashes looked! I would definitely use her again!!!

    Planning a wedding involves always saying "Did I make the right decision? Is there something better out there that I missed?" You put all those worries aside when you work with Denise. I am someone who does not wear a lot of makeup on a regular basis so I was nervous about what look I wanted for my big day. Denise's expertise helped me so much in this regard. I did not have to worry if it was the right look. Denise made sure that it was! The makeup stayed on beautifully for the entire night and people could not say enough nice things to me. This is one easy decision to make! You won't be disappointed.

    Denise was so wonderful. She and I met for a trial. She looked at a photo of my make up inspiration and she did exactly what I asked for. I decided to change my eyeshadow and lip color the day of the wedding and Denise was totally fine with it. She makes her clients feel welcomed and comfortable. She takes her time and carefully listens to the needs and concerns of her clients.

    She is is talented and passionate about what she does. She is easy to talk to and is 100% professional. She even brings this awesome chair for her clients when she does their make up. I felt was comfortable the day my wedding because I was completely confident in Denise's skills.

    She responds quickly to my emails and phone calls. She arrives on time. She listens to her clients. She is passionate and her work comes out looking amazing.

    I love love love Denise and I highly recommend her!

    From start to finish Denise was wonderful to work with. I went into my trial not knowing what I actually wanted she gave my a wonderful trial and nailed it. The day of the wedding she came to the hotel to do my makeup and my bridesmaids she made us all feel like models. A bride would hate to say this but I woke up with 2 of the biggest zits in my life on the day of my wedding. I was freaking out of course being the bride by the time Denise was done with me you couldnt even notice them she was a lifesaver! No one was rushed and she finished with me 10 min before I had to leave for my venue. If you use Denise for your wedding or event consider yourself lucky shes amazing!!! Thank you Denise for making me and my bridesmaids beautiful!!!

    Denise and her assistant were fantastic, I had 8 bridesmaids and they had everyone made up in plenty of time for pictures and the make up lasted all night. Thanks so much Denise!

    I had the pleasure of working with Denise for my September 2011 wedding at the Pleasantdale Chateau in NJ. Denise was the makeup artist for my 4 bridesmaids, MOH and the mother and step-mother of the groom. Everyone in my wedding party loved their makeup and loved Denise even more!

    Denise was always responsive and professional. She worked with me on pricing and the style of makeup I wanted for my wedding. She arrived early and worked with the hair stylist to ensure all of the girls were ready on time. I really felt at ease working with Denise, which is a priceless feeling as a bride on your big day! She does excellent work and is an overall pleasure to be around. I am very happy with my choice and I know you will be too!

    A Happy Bride :)

    I contacted Denise just a few days before my wedding and she was able to accommodate my needs in that small space of time. She was prompt and professional and she was an absolute sweetheart! Denise asked me what i was looking for and delivered exactly what I requested. Having seen her work in photos, i already trusted her skills, and she required very little direction from me. Denise is professional, sweet and was calm amidst all the wedding chaos in my family's home. This was the first time i have had my makeup professionally done and will definitely be utilizing Denise's services again in the future!! I was thrilled with the way i looked on my wedding day and the makeup was amazing in my photos!!

    Denise did an awesome job! She was professional and thorough. My makeup was beautiful and lasted all day. My mom and bridesmaids also had their makeup done by Denise. They all looked great. She knew what colors to use to compliment everyone's skin tone. Our makeup was flawless and noticeable but not overdone. Our makeup also looked great in pictures. Denise was on time and organized. We were ready with time to spare. Denise is a great makeup artist.

    Denise did an AWESOME job on me and my mom's makeup for my wedding day!! I've known Denise for a long time and trusted her, no doubt about it she did a great job! Since I don't normally wear much makeup I told her that I wanted a very natural look, not only did I feel beautiful on my special day but I still looked like myself. I would recommend Denise for your wedding or any event, she does terrific work and you will not be disappointed!!

    I had the pleasure of working with Denise on my wedding day. I am not a make up person normally, so my biggest fear was being too made up on my wedding day. Since I don't wear make up too often, I was really unsure of what colors would work best for me. I told Denise simply how I wanted to look and feel on my wedding day and she went to work. I loved what she did! I felt like a glamorous version of myself. Day of wedding, Denise was right on time, set up, and did the make up for my Mother and a bridesmaid, both were very pleased with how they looked. Denise does an amazing job and I was very lucky to find her. I would recommend her to anyone who needs a talented make-up artist.

    Denise is so awesome. She had done my makeup before, so I trusted her to do an amazing job on my wedding day. She's young (late 20s), which I've found means that she understands young, healthy skin (doesn't require overloaded makeup). But she's also very talented and well-trained. I couldn't have looked better or received more compliments about how perfect the color scheme was.

    Denise also did my mother's makeup. She literally looked 15 years younger. Amazing job.
